What floats your boat?
Re: What floats your boat?
Yeah, it was the same for me. But during this month I went from being able to write barely 300-400 words in 30 minutes to regularly going over 700-800, so it actually became easier as I went along. Also helps if your plot is already done, ofc, as mine was. So I'm sure you could do it, too!
The feeling is amazing. I think I'm happier now than I was when I graduated from college, lol.

Re: What floats your boat?
Writing a book is one of my childhood dreams, so I can definitely imagine how that must feel. Even if you're story isn't complete yet. That's a very impressive milestone.
And yea, I think I can do it as well. Just have to find the right story. I thought I had something really special, and I had the first half of the story mostly figured out, but I had no idea how I was going to finish the book, which is where I started struggling. Now a new story is developing in my head

Think it through before you start though, makes the process MUCH easier. I picked up the Scrivener trial (it's a really helpful program for novelists that I intend to buy now), it made a lot of difference in my organization.
It's not complete yet, I still have some expanding to do, and I need to wrap it up, and edit it later and whatnot, but reaching the milestone is really special. I hope you get to experience it as well

That's so awesome, Lotha. Very impressive. And judging from your thoughts around here, I'm already looking forward to receiving my autographed copy.Lotha wrote:Think it through before you start though, makes the process MUCH easier.

The full version of Show Me A Leader. That intro brings out so much.

I think that's the only body part you can say that about without getting smacked in the face.

You can get away with saying a chick has a thick ass and thighs tho nowadays. It's a compliment.Timotheus wrote:I think that's the only body part you can say that about without getting smacked in the face.
